METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR CHARGING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a charge transfer of an electric vehicle using an electric vehicle charging station, a mobile device, and a cloud server, the method comprising:
- transmitting, from the electric vehicle charging station, a message regarding an electric vehicle to the mobile device, wherein the electric vehicle charging station is unable to transmit a message to the cloud server without relaying through the mobile device;
relaying, from the mobile device, the message regarding the electric vehicle directly to the cloud server, wherein the message relayed from the mobile device includes identification information and credit account information;
authorizing a charging control signal using the identification information and credit account information received from the mobile device hone;
receiving the charging control signal from the cloud server via the mobile device over a single networked link at the electric vehicle charging station , wherein the charging control signal is configured to adjust a parameter used to draw electric power from the electric vehicle charging station; and
adjusting the charge transfer based on the adjusted parameter.
